A drug dispute led to a woman being robbed and stabbed in the North End on Friday.

On July 4, a dispute broke out between a 31-year-old female and known acquaintances in the 400 block of Pritchard Avenue. It then broke into a physical fight between the residents and the victim. 

The woman was able to escape but was chased down by one of the adults, along with a 12-year-old youth. The victim was thrown to the ground and stabbed as the suspects attempted to steal her purse. The suspects ran off, while the female made it to a nearby store for safety.

Le Patio 340 at the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain is a great example of this as its unique outdoor setting in the heart of St. Boniface inspires artists as they present a wide array of performances this summer.  

Artists from a wide variety of mediums descend on the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity to gain new skills in their chosen field. Those skills extend far beyond the spotlight to the backstage roles, including lighting, sound, and, in the case of Steinbach's Lauren Peters, wardrobe.
